All floor jack valves.................. to release pressure I have ever
seen take a fine touch ..
you get used to it after a while.

My oldest jack ...
from before the days of HF .
.made in Tawaiin, cost $ 107  in 1982 .... 1  1/2 ton I think ..Red of
course.
still works ..hey ..that's as old as an 82 DV ..!
31 years. Doesn't leak either.
One cast iron wheel is pretty worn ....but the thing still works just
fine after all these years. Gotta love that.
